Go for something fun, modern and funky this Christmas. Look at white Christmas decorating ideas for a fresh, simple and wintery feel...
Be inspired by these Christmas decorating tips, and create your own perfect White Christmas...
Christmas is on its way..! It’s nearly here..!
Are you tired of all that tame traditional décor around at Christmas? Do you want something a little bit different - something modern, bright and fresh?
Take inspiration from a cold, crisp winter this Christmas, and fill your home with decorations inspired by blue and white Christmas decorating ideas.
Traditional Christmas colors are red and green, and these encompass all kinds of russets, bronzes, golds and even maroons and purples.
This year, why not break away from tradition, and try a more modern look. Typical wintery colors (rather than just Christmas colors) are very popular this year.
These wintery colors bring to mind the joy of snow at Christmas. White Christmas decorating ideas are inspired by snow, ice and feeling chilly (in a nice way!)
The colors to go with, for this kind of scheme are white, in particular, and blue. All kinds of blue look striking against white:
pale blue
royal blue
aqua
turquoise
teal
And a little silver can be added into the mix, for that added glitter and sparkle.
Traditional Christmas colors are dark and warm, and tend to give your home a really seasonal, cosy feel. You won’t get this feel with blue and white Christmas decorating ideas, but what you will get is a fresh, bright and very modern feel - just right for a slightly different look this year.
More colors can always be added, if you want to add to the look, or warm it up a bit. Try:
greens
golds
red
pink
purple
The Christmas Tree
The obvious place to think of using blue and white Christmas decorating ideas this year, is on your Christmas tree.
These colors work well on a natural, green tree:
…but look absolutely stunning on a white or silver tree:
You might fancy a really wintery theme for your tree, and go for a white Christmas tree, with white decorations as well. I love this kind of look – it feels really wintery, but simple, modern and a bit sparkly too…
You might find a really modern tree, if you fancy something very different this year...
…so, of course, you can choose a single color to decorate your tree with, or mix and match with balls and baubles of different colors
It is worth buying plenty of different baubles and decorations - as they can be used all over the house – not just on the tree…
The Christmas Table
Seeing as the table tends to be the focus of Christmas day – groaning under the weight of fantastic lunches and dinners – it is a good place to concentrate your blue and white Christmas decorating ideas.
Trim up your Christmas table, and get creative.
For traditional Christmas décor, you might usually deck the halls with boughs of holly – while holly and evergreen décor is certainly not ruled out of your white Christmas decorating ideas, you can continue the fresh, modern wintery feel, by adding silver, blue and white baubles, decorations and candles.
It is a lovely touch to decorate place settings with a little touch of modern, Christmas cheer.
Continue the theme with a Christmas centerpiece. I always feel this is essential for a Christmas table. I like to choose one that can easily be moved to one side (to make room for all the food!) and will still look nice.
You can make something simple and effective, with some candles and a few of your best Christmas decorations.
Even a simple table layout, all in white, with a little extra foliage and sparkle looks very smart as well as festive at a more formal Christmas dinner table.
Don’t feel restricted by this simple color scheme! Use and develop your white Christmas decorating ideas to suit your own home, personality and styles.
Add other colors, or keep it white - pure and simple. Go for a fun and funky modern feel, or turn it into a veritable treasure trove of traditional cheer…
I hope that this has inspired you a little to try out some different white Christmas decorating ideas, styles and even colors, this year.
